Consumers are not signing up to become members of the program and since the Dojo just recently opened, it does not currently have a well known and established reputation in the community. Since opening in September at 40A Brydon Dr, Etobicoke the business has struggled with acquiring a substantial amount of new members and currently has only 36 members, with a monthly membership fee of $114.99. As a result, it has only generated a revenue of $4,139.64 and has current expenses of $4700.00 monthly, therefore the Dojo is not making a profit. Additionally, their current marketing efforts have been very diluted and undifferentiated for the target market. Due to lack of funds, they have been unable to effectively market their service to consumers within the area. Additionally, the Dojo is facing very strong competition. Competition is not just other Dojo studios, but all other sporting activities. There are several after school programs that the Dojo needs to compete against. A key opportunity to take advantage of is the Dojo’s location and the high quality training

Nationally, Orangetheory Fitness is the fastest growing fitness franchise, at least partially due to the innovative ideas it brings to fitness. In detail, Orangetheory Fitness locations in Ann Arbor and nationally are effective in communicating the brand to community members using social media among other tactics. The reason that this brand strategy works is because of the niche industry that Orangetheory Fitness is in: a specialized fitness development program that is beyond just a gym. While there are other fitness centers out there that follow a similar strategy, none of them have established a sense of community, that’s Orangetheory’s competitive advantage.

Funds are essential to set up a community gym, mainly for the building, equipment, and few employees. The community gym can charge monthly fees, except for African-American women, or all women in general. These can be funded by the state or the federal. Another option is to use an already set up gym, but provide free access to African-American women only. In either options, African-American women should be provided free access to gym, at least for 1 year, and later charge a very minimum fee. This encourages them to continue their routine without worrying about finance. Other resources needed are sponsorships from gym equipment companies to provide the equipment at a reduced price. Resources are also needed to advertise the free gym access through flyers around the community, school, workplaces, restaurants,

In my point of view, I think the most important point the author, Matthew Yeomans, tried to raise and educate the readers is that social media is not just a platform for people to communicate, establish relationships and share their social life, it is also a useful tool to improve the crisis management and assist the planning and preparation for future disasters/catastrophes.
At first, we were a start up and all clients were good clients. We did not have much internal structure nor a focus on marketing. We now need to develop a set of metrics that help assess the health of the business and find a way to fuse our informal culture with the benefits of additional structure.

This paper is my personal SWOT analysis. The SWOT analysis discusses four specific categories to evaluate a project, situation or in my case my personal and professional life (Hay, Castilla, 2006). In this analysis I will look at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that I need to address in my life. The concept of this type of analysis is a great way to find out ways to improve, but at the same time is a difficult task for someone like me who has a hard time outwardly expressing self attributes. That might be one of my weaknesses or threats, on the other hand it might be what makes me a good listener to others. I will refer to the SWOT analysis chart throughout this paper (figure 1.1) the list was difficult but, I feel it is pretty close to complete.
In the last past years, Trend Micro experienced a huge economic growth, especially in Mexico’s region. But, before 2012 there was an impacting declination in growth, in 2012 it was expected a growth of 41,4% in 2014. As can be seen in the fishbone diagram, one of the reasons was because the companies they bought didn’t have the economic effect they expected, and their products were not efficient for Trend Micro. Moreover, solutions were obsolete and were only able to solve old problems rather than new ones. This problem can also be applied on employees as they resisted to the changes, which were a must for the company, and were only prepared to solve old problems rather than new ones. Not only they were obligated change the organization and
